I put mine in unheated, no in or out storage at the fair.  About 15 miles East of the suburbs you mentioned.  They charge approx $10/for about 6 months.  VERY reasonable.  Must have your request postmarked August 1 or you may miss the space. First come, first served.  I officed in Maple Grove...

The North Shore is world class camping, hiking and sightseeing. Sorry to admit though, I keep my rig winterized, in storage (state fair) Oct through May. What part of town are you moving to? There are a lot of local options too and many many lakes, as already noted.

My siblings and I were raised in Mpls MN. My brother went to college in Denver, CO.  My sister went to college in Omaha, NE where she made a lifelong friend from Pittsburgh, PA. 20 years later, unbeknownst to anyone, this friend's NOW ex-husband bought the house right next door to my brother in...

Thanks everyone. I went to Home Depot and got a tester for $4.  I declare Camp Starr open for business. If you need a hookup for a night in Minneapolis let me know!

He put it on a 30amp single pole breaker (which I can see in my box) and he assured me it wouldn't fry the rig.  I thought you would need a double pole for 240v?  As you can tell, I really don't know much about electrical work or code.

I hired a local guy to install a 30 amp receptacle at my house. I notice the romex is not in conduit. Is this something I need to be concerned about or have corrected? I live in MN.

I have the same camera with the same install.  Turn on my running lights and the camera broadcasts to a screen I have on my windshield, similar to a GPS. Works well, good solution for 1 camera, not sure if they have 2+ options.

Looks great, wish I was there.

If anyone is looking for a site, today is a good day to call in.  I just got off the phone with Debra and cancelled my reservation. Wish I could go - sometime in the future I will! DJ

Just called.  FYI - Reservations are booked up to 11 months in advance. I just need to wait a few more weeks...

I like my Die Hard because it serves many purposes.  I can run my CPAP at home when the power goes out (and lower my adjustable bed).  I can power other devices and charge cells camping, or at home in a power failure.  It will jump your tow vehicle when DW leaves the lights on.  It can even fill...

I use this and it gets me through.  May need to lug it to the visitor center or shower house to recharge every couple of days.  Can't run the humidifier but it works!  Cheap solution. https://www.craftsman.com/products/diehard-platinum-portable-power-1150

Any ideas on when they open reservations for the RV sites?  Looking for 7/2018.  Do I need to call in or just wait until January 1st?  Any experts?

I'll have to tell my wife then.  Between Vegas, Hawaii, a few local camping trips (MN) and football in Oregon followed the next weekend with football in Pittsburgh.  I have been MANDATED to go to CO as well.  Fine with me but who will work to pay for all of this?
